Disclaimer: I was gifted the Tress Wellness Waxing Kit for review purposes, but all thoughts are my own and unbiased But it's important to make sure you take your time and prep properly. "Prep and practice is the key to a flawless wax. Ensure you have your products and tools to hand and make sure the hairs are the correct length and not too short," says Charlotte. At-home waxing tips from skincare expert Charlotte Connoley When I’d finished waxing, I had some wax residue left on my skin. However, some liberal spritzing of the after-wax spray got rid of any leftover wax. The after-wax spray smells amazing too. It has a stronger coconut scent than the pre-wax spray and is richer. I think it did an excellent job at nourishing and soothing my skin post-waxing, as my skin felt moisturised and protected.

Everything You Need For Waxing: Our complete waxing kit gives the most effective home wax so you can s ave money on your frequent. Prior to being gifted the Tress Wellness Waxing Kit, I’d never tried at-home waxing before, so I had no idea what to expect. In some ways, I felt optimistic that this would be a great alternative to shaving. In other ways, I didn’t know if this kit would end up being more hassle than it’s worth. Horror stories about at-home waxing being painful, poor quality, and patchy can often put people off buying their own kit. The prospect of at-home waxing going wrong is pretty scary, so I can understand people’s concerns.

While the beans are melting, apply some pre-wax spray onto your skin to prep it for waxing. There’s also an after-wax spray included in the kit to soothe and moisturise the skin when you’ve finished. The wax wasn’t as hot as I was expecting either; it was warm. This made for a great experience, as the wax didn’t feel uncomfortable. When the wax had cooled, I slightly lifted an edge and pulled the hardened wax. The wax came off easily and with it a load of hairs too! I actually found the experience really fun and therapeutic. It worked so well. After doing a patch test, pour some waxing beans of your choice into the digital wax warmer. Although the instructions don’t say how many beans to put in the warmer, start off with fewer beans than you’ll anticipate using and add more if needed. I went with the eucalyptus beans. Next, pop the lid on the digital warmer and crank the temperature up to max (125 degrees). Before you start using the Tress Wellness Waxing Kit, you must do a patch test 24 hours before you intend to wax. This is to test for allergic reactions. Please do a patch test people, as you don’t want to find yourself with an allergic reaction after placing wax all over your legs. Stay safe.

Avoid irritants post-wax:"Immediately after waxing the skin can become slightly sensitive. Avoid sunbathing or any heat treatments such as saunas, steam rooms, hot baths and swimming as they can irritate the skin. Applying deodorant, self-tan or makeup should be avoided for 24 hours."

Once roughly half the beans have melted, take off the lid and turn down the temperature to between 60 and 80 degrees. The instruction guide explains more about the temperatures, but you shouldn’t have the wax too warm, otherwise it will burn your skin. I went with 70 degrees. The kit is straightforward to use. After reading the instructions through once, I felt like I had a clear understanding of what to do. The eucalyptus beads have a mild but pleasant scent.Skin preparation is key:"Make sure the top layer of the skin is fully exfoliated to remove any dead skin cells and free ingrown hairs. This can be achieved by dry body brushing or using a manual exfoliating product in the shower or bath. Exfoliating the skin should be carried out 24 hours before any waxing. This ensures that there is no redness, irritation or skin sensitivity before waxing."
